It's an alternative in the same way a sledgehammer is an alternative
to a regular one. You can still drive nails with it, but onlookers
might consider it an excessive use of force. :)
I skimmed your blog posts, so I know you're aware that search terms
are stemmed. So you know that "tag:blogs" will also return bookmarks
tagged "blog" (among other bloggish things). You can append a period
to search terms you don't want stemmed: "tag:blogs." gets you
bookmarks that are tagged "blogs". Period. By the way, the quotes
are just a typographical convention and not part of the search queries.
Even searching with "tag:blogs.", you will still see things like
Engadget save this
to gadgets tech blog technology news ... saved by 7661 other people
Even though "blogs" is not displayed in the summary, I can guarantee
that some of the 7661 people bookmarking it have tagged it so.

> eg. tag:blogs technorati (this just does an + search)
Technically it's equivalent to "tag:blogs AND technorati". In
English: Find bookmarks with tags which, when stemmed, match the
stemmed version of "blogs", and which have "technorati" (or a stemmed
form of it) anywhere in the description, notes, or tags.

Yes, this works.

I think your results are "noisy" because "tag:blog search" is not
equivalent to "tag:blog tag:search". Also there's the stemming going
on. It seems like you'd prefer "tag:blog. tag:search.".

Go with the search query. You can't combine /tag/blogs with a full-
text search.
